The Wellderness stew is a lesson in learning as you go.

At an early session, we experienced 'potato-gate', where neat food parcels failed to cook in the campfire. Not much later, we almost didn't deliver a hot meal for our first Wim Hof event.

Since then, our delicious stew has helped many an ice bather recover from their chilly dip. Mind you, this stew is not just for Wim Hofers. It's a recipe that suits almost everyone.

A bundle of seasonal vegetables, blended in a big iron pot that sits amongst the burning logs. In goes tomatoes, and vegan, gluten-free stock. Plus there's options on the side to flavour for your own tastes.

It's delicious!

This Saturday, while you forage and make fire c***r, we'll be watching over the pot and keeping the kettles hot. Then you get to try the famous Wellderness stew. Did we mention how delicious it is??

Binsted Woods, Saturday the 17th of October, from 12pm to 4pm.

Be ready to learn as you go.

At this time of year, foragers can usually expect to find a ripe harvest of nuts and berries, which give a big hit of nutritious deliciousness. (Try saying that quickly! )

After a hot, dry summer, the woods might look a little different this autumn.

On Saturday, we're going to find out. Expertly led by Sophie Cropley, we'll take a sustainable look around the woodland, to see what's in stock. We'll also take a chance to talk about how to forage responsibly, especially as the weather reaches greater extremes.

Plus, you'll learn how to make a toasty tonic that'll help boost your immunity. All the while, the scent of Wellderness stew will be tantalising your taste buds. Gluten-free and vegan, it's a campfire-cooked pot of delight. You'll want to bring a bowl, a fork and an appetite.

Saturday, 17th of October. Binsted Woods.

You'll find tickets and a load more information via our events tab.

See you there.

Be well in the wilderness with the Wellderness.

The temperature has dropped. The leaves are heading the same way. And the rain has shown us what we missed over the summer.

Autumn is here, in all its tawny glory.

The golden tones herald colder weather, which brings coughs and colds and lingering sore throats.

While we're not going to pretend there's a magic cure, we do know that nature provides the ingredients to give your immunity a lift.

Trees, for starters. Full of immune-boosting phytoncides.

Plus, there's turmeric and ginger. Onions, chillies, garlic. Cloves and peppercorns. So many things.

And while there is no magic cure for the common cold, there is a recipe that brings these things together, in a fiery tonic that keeps the sniffles at bay.

You can learn to make it with us, among the trees.

Plus, Sophie will guide you through a foraging walk, while we cook up a batch of world-famous Wellderness stew.

Saturday, 17th of October. Binsted Woods.

See you there.
